CSB: Had Miss Hawaii as a lab assistant for a year. Absolutely fantastically gorgeous, but so nice and smart that you sort of forgot about the smoking hot aspect after a while. My fellow grad students and I fought over who got to work with her all the time. She's a Doctor now.

There are around 1.5 million women in Wales. Of those 1.5 million, at least half are probably too old or too young to be miss Wales. She could literally be the prettiest woman in Wales. Probably is. Being smart is just a bonus.

Also, I bet Wales people prefer to be called Welsh instead of British. Even though they are both.

She actually looks EXACTLY like a girl I worked with back in about 1990 for 2 years. in a small design office on macs. just us two. 5 days a week. 8 hours. She was also smart, vivacious, kind, funny and we got on extremely well.

Hope for her sake she goes as an MD. Much more perks to be had as a pretty MD.

Why, yes, I speak from experience, having sat in several admission review boards with famous male MDs who openly...in conversation...choose and judge female fellowship candidates based on cuteness and attractiveness. No, there's no protection for that. :)

There's some of that in phD land, but not so career-enhancing. She'll get the best of everything if she goes into medicine.

Photographers always want something in the glassware, so they add food coloring. If it were real science stuff she would need to be wearing safety glasses. Also, she looks like Ally Walker (Profiler) who also started out in a molecular biology lab.

I know you are just trolling, but in case someone reads that and thinks it's true, Welsh and British are different ethnicities. The former independent countries of Wales and Britain are now part of the UK and Britain still refers to only a portion of that.

So many like this. She's an undergrad who like the "theory" behind genetics.

Yeah, I went to a university with 72% females. Regardless of that, most incoming freshmen, year after year, all wanted to be Breaking Bad, or some Grey's Anatomy sort.

The real-deal science chicks: 1) a few were going bald; 2) were all overweight; 3) had zero time/interest in social events unless it was nerd related; 4) would run this chick into the ground with her "theory" behind genetics. Oy vey ist mir.

Yeah. I've had 5 semesters of chem lab--and just about everything we dealt with was either clear or white. Colors were rare. A bunch of tubes that all have bright colors? If she's not doing dye research it's fake.

Cpl.D:If any of you chuckleknucks in this thread idly wonder why women don't tend to go into the sciences or engineering or what have you, look real hard at this thread. Damn near every post explains it.

Oh come on. If this young woman were replaced with Prince Charming McMusclechest for the article, the comments would be widely similar, just from a different group of people.

She shouldn't be staring at anything. She needs to fill that volumetric flask to the damn line. Who knows how much liquid is in that thing?

/love stock photos of people misusing chemistry equipment

Yes, yes, and yes. She isn't the Big Flaming Nerd she pretends to be if she can allow herself to be photographed using glassware wrong. And if she doesn't know how to use a volumetric flask yet, then it's anybody's guess how she's really going to do in her program of study.

Yeah, pardon my grumpiness. Got a niece that is very smart, but rather than doing something with that, she's being fed that little princess culture crap, where she's learning to be pretty and vacuous and useless. It gives me the grrrr.

I'll bet you guys are giving any of the English farkers reading this an aneurysm about now.

English like to be called English. Welsh like to be called Welsh (but without any vowels). Scots like to be called Scots.

Nobody likes to be called British. Except Lord British, but he was a make-believe video game character.

Is this a joke? Do you think Wales is attached to Ireland or something?

She is very beautiful and a very intelligent lady who should be proud of her accomplishments. That said, I think the staged lab photos look like something Paul Ryan would release in an attempt to look all "sciencey" while visiting a research facility.

Hehehe.. yeah, that seems spot on.

'Welcome to our photography studio, young lady. We've set up a fake lab over here for you to pose at.. never mind that it's not what you're used to.'

Yeah, like a scientific study in a lab would end up in a spectrum of colour which resembles a rainbow, being able to recreate the varying density of rain droplets reflecting / refracting light at a given point in the higher atmosphere.
